Overview

This structure, unique in the world, offers its visitors the magic of going back in time and directly experiencing the ancient techniques of paper production during guided tours in Italian, English, German, French and Spanish.You can admire the centuries-old machinery used in the production of handmade paper: the ancient wooden hammers which, driven by a water wheel, beat and shredded the linen, cotton and hemp rags previously collected in the mighty stone piles; the Dutch car installed in the paper mill museum on November 18, 1745; the eighteenth-century presses used to remove excess water from the sheets; the machine continues in the round. All these machines for the production of paper have been restored and made functional, and are operated during the visit with the strength and power of the waters of the Canneto torrent to make you relive the thrill of creating a sheet of the fine Amalfi handmade paper.
